BREAKING: We're filing a petition for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who is being detained by ICE because of his reporting on law enforcement activity.

The First Amendment is clear: Journalists cannot be detained for doing their jobs.

πŸ“½οΈ WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs.

Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

Attention other indivisibles, do any of you have any clever ideas for rapid response Overpass signage? Something where you can react the next day and create a quick message? Like amscrabble. Also, we're putting together an Amazon detox kit. Does anybody have any good resources for that?

☎️ Daily Action, Monday, August 4 ☎️  

 

CALL YOUR SENATORS & REPS.


 

As you make your calls to your representatives, please ask for information about upcoming town halls. Congress will be on recess the month of August and it is important that we stress that we would like to see them in a town hall.

 

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].

 

I want to thank you for keeping federal science funding strong. The senate appropriations committee endorsing NIH budget increases is a bright spot, and I’m grateful for your support of research and the innovation it fuels here in Alabama and across the country.

 

But I’m very concerned about the other ways that science continues to be targeted. For example, NIH’s shift to paying out full 5-year grants upfront. This change will dramatically reduce the number of new grants funded next year. Our scientists are already facing success rates as low as 5–10%. This payout change means we may be looking at 1–2 funded grants out of every 100 applications. That would be devastatingβ€”not just to research careers, but to progress in medicine, healthcare, and technology.

 

Please continue to support strong, sustained federal research fundingβ€”and urge NIH to protect long-term stability in the way those dollars are administered.

 

Thank you for your time, and for standing up for science.

Yesterday, the MA House joined the MA Senate in voting to strengthen the state’s shield law that protects the right to abortion care and gender-affirming care.

The vote was 136 to 23.

Trump, who once fueled conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein, now bears their brunt President Donald Trump’s recent statements about his administration’s handling of records related to Jeffrey Epstein have seemingly escalated anger from parts of his base.

The White House and POTUS have limited the ability to comment with GIFs on Instagram after their posts were getting spammed with Trump/Epstein memes

We're in court today for our latest challenge to President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship.

We filed the new nationwide class-action lawsuit to protect the 14th Amendment's guarantee that all children born in the U.S. are American citizens.
